1. Antique White Kitchen Cabinets

The huge kitchen cabinets in this kitchen are placed as an ‘island’ in the center of the floor to demonstrate the elegant power of their design from many different angles as visitors and owners walk the room.

They are not an additional touch, but an integral element or even the center piece of this classy looking home.

2. Best Countertop Color for Kitchen Cabinets In Antique White

Here is a more compact kitchen with limited space for furnishing in the middle and near the walls.

The designer found a solution to the sizing problem by placing a small, but solid wheeled cabinet to combine style and functionality, and liven up the place with fresh flowers and spices, which stick out from under the countertop.

9. Paneled Antique Kitchen Cabinets

Some people choose to combine both, because they feel that the two elements mix nicely and provide a flashback to fancier times, when wainscoting and stylish furniture were popular all across Europe centuries ago.

17. Cabinets with Dark Countertops

In this kitchen you can see a major contrast between the white cabinets and the extreme darkness of the granite countertops, which helps them stand out.

Something, which doesn’t strike the viewer immediately, but is especially important, is the fact that there are light highlights all throughout the top surface material.

The grey highlights allow the countertops to contrast without looking out of place.

The owner decided to pick a soft light color for the backsplashes, which is, however, still situated somewhere between black and white in the palette, and allows for an easier transition between separate elements.

18. Cabinets in an Off Kitchen

This kitchen seemingly doubles as a dining room or even a living room continuation where you can sit in a comfortable chair and read in the sunlight of the huge window.

The antique white cabinets effectively serve as a sort of border between both parts of the space.

19. Wall Antique White Kitchen Cabinets

The style of this kitchen may come out as too busy for some.

The owners decided on modern-looking appliances, a dark wooden floor and a textured ceiling.

The metallic color of the appliances reminds us that metal, like classical style, is forever, and the designer chose dark grey countertops to help bring the modern metallic feel and the old school antique white furniture stylistically closer.

29. Aging your Antique White Cabinets Tips

To artificially create an aged look, use a candle to rub the surfaces of the furniture before laying paint.

Then remove some of the paint with fine sanding paper of block.

This will make your cabinets look like they are vintage or truly antique.

30. Granite Color for Antique White Kitchen Cabinets

As you see in this kitchen, a kitchen top, which doesn’t contrast with the antique white color gives a slick modern look, which some professionals advise doesn’t go that naturally with antique white cabinets.

The rule here is: different colors (however, of the same color family) to make it look old, and similar colors to make it look modern.

Highlights are important in both cases: they help match the surface to the rest of the room.
